Whenever there's a large number of guests and I'm the only one here I have the urge to stay until the guests drift away so I don't leave the place unattended

TIME SWEEP

I could talk about the post above as a longer post in my writing thread: Time's opinion on choices in video games.

EXACTLY

I wish I had some friends to play Baldur's Gate 3 with (that match the same vibe I go with)

Co-op seems so fun

Writing in general is a very good way to develop writing skills, although definitely studying grammar helps XD practicing writing and reading different styles of writing helps develop a writing style though (idk if this is helpful or not)

It feels weird talking about games that only I kinda know about. But nevertheless imma do it!

So uhh this is about Limbus Company

There was a newly released Ishmael graphic for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, and I'm not going to lie I think this is one of if not my favorite designs in the game. Linkto see what I'm talking about

I seriously need to find out why I like it so much, so I can apply it to my own designs. I find that it appears quite similar to Ramlethal Valentine's design in Strive... so there's certainty a pattern or style that I like. I think I just need to collect a bunch of designs I like and stare at all of them to try and put dots together.

In addition, the design provides some material for theory crafting... maybe I'll write more extensively on that in my writing thread.

As of late I've been quite dissatisfied with my writing. Hence why no posts on the writing thread.

I think what my writing needs is a solid ending. A definite conclusion. Yet one still open enough that I can talk about it later on if I wish.

Maybe its because I'm putting it out in a way that I don't find it entertaining. As in, anyone who reads it may be bored. and that's not like, me worring about what other people thing. That's more of an internal feeling. I want my writing to be interesting.

Orr... I just need to post it.

From what I've seen of your writing, I think it would be nice to have each individual post have its conclusion if that's what you want. You can always refer back to something you said earlier and add on to it even if that specific post had a conclusion, since you'd be posting individual writings about a single topic instead of writings that are all unfinished parts of a whole. 

I realize like a good portion of what I just posted is very hard to follow

I realize that a good portion of what I write in general is normally hard to follow lol

I've been thinking about my writing output.

I can easily output writings on Limbus Company, while nearly everything else takes longer to write, since I barely look to edit and rewrite things (except Ishmael analyses).

Plus, with Limbus Company being a live service game, things new info and theories come around quite often. So it's easy to write about. Plus, there is a good bit of content concerning the lore that I can write about. Past games, books, etc.

So I wonder, am I oversaturating my writing thread? Should I cut down my Limbus writings (and in result my posts) so that I can give some time for other things?

In college one of the classes I've taken is an intro to film analysis. I am happy to take it, as I get to watch movies and see if I can pick it apart for my own storytelling skills.

One movie we watched is Everything Everywhere All at Once. It's a beautiful piece of film, methinks.

I have never cried consuming any piece of media. That be video games, books, film, nothing. This film is the same. I didn't cry, but I will say that it's beauty nearly made me do so. The only other piece of media I can firmly say got me to the state of "slightly moist eyes" is Interstellar.

Oddly enough, both Interstellar and this film (I'm not saying it's name it so long) both share a plot point that I personally want to explore -- that being time travel/time dilation (Interstellar) and alternate universes (Everything Everywhere). I never really had a good example in mind until now tho.

I'll probably have to write and pick films apart more if I want to improve my stories, probably a little bit more than what the college class offers, so maybe that's another source of posts for my writing thread.

Oddly enough, I don't think I would have watched this film normally. It's very weird, there are lots of good stories out there I don't think I would watch normally. I don't know why, but maybe it has to do with presumptions or just not normally my setting. But I think honestly that sort of viewpoint is stupid, now. I hope that in the future, I pick up more media not because I think it's my setting, but to my understanding that it's a beautiful story, and many have said so.

I really do need to get that push to start cleaning up my backlog, then... a lot of the stories there are ones I think to be beautiful, but are teetering or hesitant because I wouldn't normally read them.

I think I'm tweaking.

I wanna read some more overseas stuff right, stuff in different languages. But I am hesitant to do so cuz I'd rather have the official translations so I don't lose terms or specific wording or anything like that with the unofficial ones.

So I am thinking things thru
